Recenzii

“In Art without Boundaries Jack Anderson hails modern dance in its full boldness and clarity. With characteristic warmth, he also introduces us to many fascinating new personalities.”—Doris Hering, senior editor, Dance Magazine

“[It is] impossible to mention here all the pioneer figures characterised so concisely and accurately by Anderson—each of them placed in relation to their social and political climate....[Anderson] is well-served by his formidable talent as a wordsmith; it would be hard put to name another writer who could, in so few precise and weighty words, sketch out the individual artistic physiognomies of Graham, Horst, Humphrey, Weidman, Cunningham, Nikolais, Limón, Shearer, Horton, Taylor, Rainer, Brown, Dean and Fenley—to mention just a few of the more prominent Americans.”—Ballet International

“Anderson provides one of the most comprehensive dance history books in many years, one that draws extensively on the sociological underpinnings of dance and the personal passions of individuals. The beginning statement—'modern dance is an art as elusive as it is great'—sets the stage for an excellent discussion of some of the visionary (and, yes quirky) choreographers who devised movement for the genre. . . . Anderson deserves a big thank you for such an excellent, thought-provoking look at the world of dance.”—Choice
